Delaware for Protection.

1t always was one of the anomalies
OF modern politics, why a State
which owes so much to it's manufac-
turing industries as Delaware should in
dominant sentiment be a free trade
State.
But she isn't consistent in this atti-
tude towards her productive industries.
New Castle county has her CirOn)
horseshoe interests, while Kent and
Sussex counties likewise have their
horse-shOe-crab industries.
The latter like every other interest
when injured, pleads for protection. So
do her other Delaware Bay industries.
Her clam men clamor for it.
Her Delaware shad men shout for it.
Her oyster shuckers shrek for it.
Her horseshoe crab men cry for it.
And her Legislative Solons at Dover
have heard their cries, for a law has
been framed and presented to them.
which forbids any one under painful
penalties, from having in or upon his
or her person one hOrse-shoe-crab ex-
cept for use as food for chickens or
swine.
Now to the uninitiated this seems a
strange law, and OF strangely insigniti
cant purpOrt. But inquiry shows that
the horseshoe crab industry is an i'm
pOrtant down Delaware local interest.
That years ago they lined the shores
of Delaware Bay and made capital
fertilizer. Better indeed than the
modern artificial product.
But greedy individuals and COM
panies have invaded their wonted
haunts, and have for individual gain
appropriated them until this crusta-
ceOus critter" promises to become ex-
tinct
Hence these cries.
Now for the logic of the situation.
Protection for horseshoe crabs is the
war cry in lower Delaware.
If she protects her horseshoe crabs,
then as matter of natural Justice she
must in turn protect her horse-shOes,
which Wilmington so largely produces.
lfshe protects her horseshoe indus
tries, then she is under equal obligation
to protect every other native American
industry Cecil Whig.
